After the divorce, Mr. Gu spent every day at the crematorium.

Since the woman told Gu Tianyou to ask whatever he wanted, Gu Tianyou stopped hiding anything.

He held his cane between his right arms to make his body appear more upright.

He didn't want to lose in terms of presence.

He stared intently into the woman's eyes and asked, "Shen Yao, do you hate me? Do you wish me dead? Do you even curse me to die behind my back?"

Gu Tianyou asked three questions in one breath.

Shen Yao initially thought that a man like Gu Tianyou wouldn't care about these things.

But the truth is, he does care.

Shen Yao could tell from his slightly bloodshot eyes that he was bothered.

These three questions are actually quite easy to answer.

Shen Yao can even answer quickly within thirty seconds.

But Shen Yao dared not answer carelessly.

She thought about her answer carefully before replying, word by word: "Gu Tianyou, I hated you before, and indeed, in moments of anger, I wished you were dead. But now, I don't think that way anymore."

As if to make sure Gu Tianyou would listen, Shen Yao paused deliberately at this point.

"What I want now is to give birth to the child safely and spend the rest of my life with you peacefully."

Hearing this, Gu Tianyou sneered.

That cold laugh revealed his disbelief.

He didn't believe what Shen Yao said.

The reason he thought that way was because when Shen Yao said those words, she was facing Lu Jiajia, not just anyone.

Lu Jiajia is Shen Yao's best friend.

Gu Tianyou had every reason to believe that Shen Yao would tell the truth to Lu Jiajia.

Therefore, Gu Tianyou also felt that it was true that Gu Tianyou said he hated himself and cursed himself.

Therefore, after Shen Yao sincerely expressed her feelings, she not only failed to gain Gu Tianyou's understanding and forgiveness, but also received his cold laughter.

Shen Yao's eyebrows gradually furrowed, and the anger in her eyes was clearly visible.

"Gu Tianyou, I'm talking to you nicely, what are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing at you; you talk a good game but you can't sing a good song."

What do you think?

"Isn't that right? Who knows what you'll say about me to Lu Jiajia after you leave?"

Originally, when Lu Jiajia first suggested that Shen Yao come and apologize to Gu Tianyou, Shen Yao didn't want to come.

Only after Lu Jiajia's encouragement and persuasion did she come to find Gu Tianyou.

She didn't expect to be met with the man's sarcastic remarks.

Shen Yao has an inherent sense of pride.

Seeing that Gu Tianyou did not believe her, she immediately turned hostile.

"Gu Tianyou, I admit I did hate you terribly, and I cursed you to die. But don't you understand why I became like this? Do you want me to help you remember why I hated you, bit by bit?"

The moment the past was mentioned, Gu Tianyou's musket went out of service.

Because, in the past, what he said and did was indeed unreasonable.

Therefore, when Shen Yao brought up the past, he had no way to refute her.

A deathly silence fell over the ward.

After a long while, Gu Tianyou finally spoke.

He raised his scarlet eyes and looked at the woman before him.

"So, this is why you hate me and curse me to die? Fine, I admit my mistakes in the past. But, Shen Yao, I don't understand. Since you hate me so much and even wish for my death, why don't you divorce me?"

"Do you want to see me suffering from terminal lung cancer, living a life worse than death, before you're satisfied and your anger subsides?"

"What do I have to do for you to forgive me?"

Looking at the man's face, which was even more grief-stricken than her own, Shen Yao laughed in anger.

She approached the man, grabbed him, and pushed him onto the bed.

The man had just learned to walk with a cane, and his balance had not yet fully recovered.

Shen Yao's sudden move caught him off guard.

He lay helplessly on his back on the bed.

Shen Yao didn't have much strength left either.

However, after treatment by a nutritionist, she is now able to eat a little bit of food.

Therefore, I've become quite strong.

After pushing the man onto the bed, she climbed onto the bed herself, straddled him, and held his arms tightly with both hands.

Gu Tianyou injured his muscles during training today, so he had no strength to break free from Shen Yao.

He could only let Shen Yao press down on his arm, unable to move.

"Gu Tianyou, I'll say it again: I hated you, I cursed you to die, but that's all in the past. Do you hear me?"

Gu Tianyou, who was being held down, pretended to be dead and did not respond to Shen Yao.

Seeing that he ignored her, Shen Yao pinched Gu Tianyou's arm hard with her nails.

Gu Tianyou finally reacted, letting out a hiss.

"Shen Yao, what are you doing?"

He winced in pain as he looked at the woman in front of him.

Seeing that he had responded, Shen Yao pinched his chin and said gently, "I want you to be able to hear what I'm saying."

Gu Tianyou lay on his back on the bed, watching the woman straddling him, his Adam's apple bobbing.

Does this woman even realize that her current posture is extremely suggestive?

"I heard you, can you get off me now?"

Gu Tianyou felt that if the woman didn't come down soon, he was about to do something bad.

Only after the man reminded her did Shen Yao realize how ambiguous her current position was.

Her face was flushed, but her expression was fierce.

"You really heard that?"

Gu Tianyou nodded, "Really."

Shen Yao breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, it's good to hear."

After saying that, she tried to get off the man, but because she had been kneeling for too long, she felt dizzy and fell directly onto the bed.

She fell right next to Gu Tianyou.

Gu Tianyou could clearly smell the scent of the woman's hair tips.

His Adam's apple bobbed again.

Shen Yao turned her head and came face to face with Gu Tianyou. The two glanced at each other and then quickly looked away.

"Since you know I didn't say these things on purpose, I'm leaving now. Take good care of yourself."

After saying that, Shen Yao forced herself to sit up and prepared to get out of bed.

But her body had not yet recovered, and she still felt dizzy when she sat on the edge of the bed.

Seeing that she was still not getting out of bed and was rubbing her head, Gu Tianyou asked her worriedly, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Shen Yao rubbed her temples and softly hummed in agreement.

Seeing that the woman was in pain, Gu Tianyou was a little worried, so he forced himself to sit up little by little.

Thanks to his efforts over the past month, it no longer takes him as long to sit up as it used to.

After sitting up, he took his cane and slowly got out of bed.

Leaning on his cane, he came to Shen Yao and stretched out his arm.

"Hold onto my arm and come down little by little."

Shen Yao did feel a little dizzy and didn't dare to get out of bed alone.

Seeing Gu Tianyou extend his arm towards her, she didn't hesitate, grabbed his arm, and carefully landed on the edge of the bed.

After her feet landed safely on the ground, Shen Yao was about to walk forward when everything suddenly went black.
